Hello,
I am struggling to decide between WesternU and Michigan State. Any advice would help š
Pros and cons of each for me:
Western
-close to home/support system (Iām from socal)
-4th year distributive model can be beneficial to me for networking
-more expensive by ~70k for tuition alone
-majority of curriculum is PBL which can be a hit or miss and Iām not sure how compatible I am with this model
-no animals on campus
-iāve heard they keep changing the curriculum and a lot of professors are leaving
MSU
-far from home and Iāve never experienced real seasons (worried that this might add stress on top of already stressful vet school)
-cheaper tuition!!
-my partner will be joining me so I wonāt be completely alone
-teaching hospital and lots of opportunities for hands on learning
-I like the mixed style of teaching that includes didactic/flipped/pbl
-I visited this past weekend and Iām worried about work/life balance with the amount of things to do around campus compared to LA
Both schools navle scores dipped in 2024, and Iām not sure if anyone has any updates on that
